Mini digger or compact loader

[kevinjohnsonmbe]

Has anyone rigged a hedge flail on a mini digger?

 

Is that a really bone question??

That's my next purchase, I'm just waiting on the right job coming in.

Exac-1 is where I get my attachments

Running both a 2.4 tonne mini loader and a 2.8 tonne digger with stump grinder on it

 

They both have their uses but I do know I'd lose the digger if I had to but not the loader

Thanks Stephen! I wasn't sure if it was feasible. That may just swing me towards MD from Avant!

I am currently speccing my new takeuchi 23r/Hyundai 25 with the dealer (2650kg)

 

They will run the flails but you want plenty of grunt.

 

An Avant of equivalent cost and half the weight will have 1.5 the horsepower and lpm on the auxillary for running implements.

 

There are quite a few videos of them running, most on 4.5ton + machines. Though you can use them on smaller diggers I imagine you would want to be pretty steady on the controls.

 

Looks pretty cool in the right situation, though I don't see any reason why you can convert a compact tractor flail to run on an Avant fairly easily

On a side not has anyone used/seen one of these?

We have a 7 ton 360 at work I know it's not really a mini digger but we use a mulching head on that for clearing regrowth under power lines and also 'trims' some hedges with it, makes a mess tho! It is a good bit of kit tho

What sort of money are the Avants?

Iv often thought about fitting a hedge trimmer/cutter bar to my digger

Hedge Trimmers - hedge trimmer attachments, excavator mounted hedge trimmers, hydraulic hedge trimmer attachments
